Pakistan, 20th February 2017 — Global technology leader Xiaomi is bringing its full screen display innovations to the low range smartphone category with the release of Redmi 5 exclusively on Mistore.pk

With beautifully designed 18:9 HD+ screens with rounded display corners, this model is powered by Snapdragon 450, Octa-core processors. Sporting large pixel (1.25μm) sensors for the main camera, front Selfie-light, as well as long-lasting batteries. Pre-booking for this beauty begins on Tuesday, 20th February at a special price of PKR 14,999 https://www.mistore.pk/redmi-5-pre-order/

18:9 display with rounded corners

With a 5.7-inch 18:9 HD+ display that takes up almost the entire front surface, Redmi 5 provides a much larger viewing area compared with traditional 16:9 screen displays. This gives a better user experience whether users are reading news, editing spreadsheets, or playing games on a smartphone.

In addition, Redmi 5 has a screen with rounded display corners and is designed with close attention to symmetry, delivering a stunning appearance. It also features a four-sided curved design that gives users amazing hand-feel.

Large 1.25μm pixels and front LED Selfie-light for natural, well-exposed photos

Redmi 5 comes with rear cameras sporting large 1.25μm-pixel sensors. The larger the pixels, the more light a sensor can capture, giving better image quality even in situations when lighting conditions are not perfect.

The front Selfie-light on the Redmi 5 allows users to capture beautiful selfies even in low-light conditions. With an always-on mode, this also works when shooting videos. Combined with Xiaomi’s Beautify 3.0, Redmi 5 delivers flattering and natural selfies.

Long battery life and MIUI 9 enhancements

Battery life is one of the most important features on the Redmi series, and Redmi 5 continues this tradition with a built-in 3300 mAh battery.

Flagship-level testing standards

Xiaomi’s Redmi series is widely recognized for high quality, a result of various factors including the use of best-in-class suppliers, and extremely stringent reliability tests comparable to those used for flagship devices.

One example of Xiaomi’s dedication to introducing the highest quality features on all its devices is a design tailored to buffer the impact of any fall in the new Redmi 5 smartphones. With a reinforced structure, the likelihood of a broken screen is reduced in cases when a user drops the smartphone, landing corner first. Furthermore, enhancements to the earpiece, including an additional waterproof layer, help protect the Redmi 5 from sweat and dust, reducing the likelihood of the call volume dropping over time.

The Redmi 5 (2GB+16 GB) is available in three colours; Gold, Black and Blue. The exclusive Mistore.pk price for pre-booking starts at PKR 14,999 starting 20th February. The Redmi 5 (3GB+32GB) will be launching in the near future.

A limited stock of the Redmi 5 will be available on the discounted price during the flash sale on 25th February from 6 PM to 10 PM on the Mi Store. But if you want to get your hands on this beauty for sure, head over to mistore.pk now to pre-book yours!

I was so excited to see the first Total Lunar Eclipse of 2018 in Karachi as it was the rarest event happening after 150 years. Due to the combination of three lunar phenomena: a super moon, a blue moon and a blood moon at the same time since 1866.

Being a member of ‘Karachi Astronomers Society‘ I asked Mr. Zain who is also co-founder of (KAS) if there is any happening event in Karachi where I can see the Lunar Eclipse with telescope, he told that he is conducting a Moon sighting event at Bay View Academy.

I reached the school at 6.29pm as the eclipse reached its peak at 6:31pm but it was near the horizon but after few mins. of searching the sky Mr. Zain finally spotted the Blood Moon.

All of a sudden kids gathered around Mr. Zain and asked that they also want to see the Lunar Eclipse so the teacher asked them to make a queue and they saw the Total Lunar Eclipse for the first time with telescope. Here we have not one but three telescopes with different magnification.

Sky-Watcher 90/900 AZ3 Refractor Telescope

Sky-Watcher 6″ f/8 Traditional Dobsonian Telescope

Sky-Watcher 8″ Collapsible Dobsonian Telescope

After half an hour Mr. Zain gave the tour of the night sky, told them about the brightest star in the night sky ‘Sirius’ in Canis Majoris constellation followed by Orion constellation and Oroin Nebula (one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye).

Kids asked some questions about the night sky like, “can we see The Milky Way ?”, “can you point out the Jupiter?”. It’s too hard to see the Milky Way in Urban City due to light pollution and Jupiter is under your feet (below the horizon).

It was so much fun interacting with these kids and answering their questions about the Moon and the night sky. Few of them were screaming after seeing the Moon details in the telescope. For me it was such a memorable event watching the Total Lunar Eclipse in Sky-Watcher 8″ Collapsible Dobsonian Telescope.

In mid 2016 Pakistan Cables came up with the best idea to recycle their Cable Reels. Pakistan Cables and Karachi Biennale Trust signed an MoU earlier in July 2016 to collaborate on a public outreach project, Reel on Hai. Through the “Reel on Hai” project, the Public Outreach Committee of the Karachi Biennale invited artists, designers and architects to transform the empty cable reels provided by Pakistan Cables, the main activity partner, into pieces of art.

This mega project that has brought together not only the artists working on the artworks but also the stakeholders in every area, be it the city government, people from ethnic and religious minorities, bureaucrats, school and college students and teachers, industrialists, doctors and hospital staff. People from all walks of life have connected with this project at different levels.

The cable reels provided by Pakistan Cables have been placed at public spaces in the city such as the St. Patricks Cathedral, Beach Luxury Hotel, KMC Sports Complex, Zamzama Park, Orangi Pilot Project, Jinnah Hospital, Safari Park, Indus Valley School of art and architecture, Customs House, Alliance Francaise Greenwich University, Institute of Business Administration, Karachi Zoo, DA College for Women, Karachi Central Jail, Moin Khan Academy, Piler, The national Museum, The Civilizations School, Hill park and The Absa School.

On December 13, 2017, Pakistan Cables Limited announced the launch of a coffee table book, ‘A Reel On Karachi – Art Installations in the City’ at the Alliance Francoise de Karachi in an event which was widely attended by members of the business, art and social communities.

“This book captures the story behind the project and takes its readers on a journey through Karachi brilliantly!”, stated Ms. Halai.

The event concluded with a vote of thanks by Mr. Fahd K. Chinoy, Executive Director, Pakistan Cables Limited who commended the Karachi Biennale Trust for setting up an exemplary partnership based on a shared purpose of honoring community trust and of giving back beauty to Karachi.

A free e-book version of “A Reel on Karachi” is available at the Company’s official website: www.pakistancables.com

48 great hours of epic discounts and bundle offers on a variety of Mi products only on mistore.pk

After setting an unparalleled record for holding a flat 50% flash sale in June 2017, Mi Pakistan is on its way to the next ’48 Hours Online sale’ on 25th and 26th September. Mi fans responded enthusiastically to the previous flat-50 flash sale, and the company was successfully able to wrap up its stock in a couple of hours.

Xiaomi is a Chinese mobile company which has become increasingly popular in Pakistan over a very short period of time. The upcoming sale is offering up to 25% discount on Eco products as well as widely loved Mi mobiles, and many bundle offers to boot. Xiaomi, being the only mobile network with an official e-commerce business, is setting a benchmark that other local mobile companies may aim for in the near future. The concept of a flash sale or an online sale has not been initiated by any mobile company in the past, and Xiaomi is definitely planning to win the hearts of Pakistanis by setting these milestones.

Since the official launch of Xiaomi in Pakistan by Smartlink technologies, the company has only moved from one success to another and that has only been possible because of the appreciation of its fans. Xiaomi doesn’t just provide official warranties on mobile phones, but also facilitates customers with a three month warranty on Eco products which is again a ground-breaking concept for mobile brands.

The quality of Mi products is greatly appreciated across the region, and that there is high demand for their products is clear from the fact that the company has launched a vast portfolio of their products in August and is planning to bring many variants in the forthcoming days.

Mark your calendars for the 25th and 26th of September, and get ready to experience the innovative and first-rate products of Xiaomi. We hope that Mi Pakistan will continue its tradition of value-added customer care and satisfaction by introducing flash sales, an exclusive and official online e-commerce network, and efficient and responsive customer support to give its fans an exclusive online shopping experience.
